030 - How can I get more visitors to come to my site?

Frequently asked questions | previous | next

1. Regularly update your site

Once someone visits your site you want them to keep coming back. The best way to do this is to regularly update your site. Aim to add one news item a week in addition to a good match report for every game your team play.

2. Get other sites to link to your site

One great way of getting new visitors is to get other sites to link to your site. If your league has an Internet site then get them to add your web page to their links section. If your local community has an Internet site then try to do the same there.

Another tip here would be to include your site address on your footer for all of the emails you send and also on any signatures you may use when posting to discussion forums.

Remember that the more times your site address is posted on the Internet, the higher your site will eventually appear on search engines.

3. Submit your site to search engines

Most major search engines have a submit page where you can submit your site to be spidered by their search robot. Go to the submit page for Google by clicking on the link below:

4. Tell people about your site

And finally...

...it may seem obvious, but the best way to get site visitors is to tell people about your site. Maybe consider the following ideas:

• Put the site address in your match program.
• Print out reports from your website and pass them around the changing room and post them on notice boards.
• Create little business cards with the site address on and hand them out at games.
• Once you have written a match report, then email team members telling them to go to the site and read it.
